Posted on: Group pursuing initiative to raise taxes on gold mining

All you knee-jerk anti-taxers are hilarious. Let's put some things into perspective:

1. The majority of mines in Nevada are owned by foreign conglomerates.
2. These foreign conglomerates pay next to nothing in taxes.
3. These foreign conglomerates are making record profits, literally extracting the wealth from Nevada to deposit said wealth overseas.
4. These foreign conglomerates do not care for our land, or our retired miners.
5. 55% of tax monies in Nevada go to k-12 teachers.
6. You can't move mining jobs out of state.

It's a slam-dunk to me. Sign me up.

jlb101, I think that's more comment on your knowledge and intelligence than it is a comment on Ms. McClure's prominence.

Posted on: First child in Southern Nevada dies of H1N1 flu

Yes, I guessed that of those who are hospitalized, 26% are between the ages of 5 and 18. I was simply trying to point out the ambiguity in the grammar. The last article Ms. Manning wrote about the availability of the vaccine had the same kind of grammatical ambiguity. The last article was much more difficult to decipher.

Posted on: First child in Southern Nevada dies of H1N1 flu

Ms. Manning needs a better editor. This is the second report on H1N1 that is difficult to read and is open to interpretation. For example:

"For people 5 to 18, 26 percent of them reported for hospitalizations are from H1N1 flu and another 24 percent have been 25 to 49, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said."

26% of children 5 to 18 have gone to the hospital because of H1N1? Probably not.
